“We waste SO much life worrying what someone else thinks about us, though they might not even be thinking about us in the first place. Then we try to people-please based on thoughts we project onto others and assumptions we make about what would win their approval. Often that other person, unknowingly, is doing the same thing right back to us, doubling the wall of disconnection, all with the intention of connection and love.” -Jamie Kern Lima
“The opposite of addiction is not sobriety. The opposite of addiction is connection.” – Johann Hari
The intersection is connection. Connection is an essential nutrient to human life because love and belonging are basic needs. Find connection and you will find fulfillment. Happiness is found through WE, not me.
